"For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would fail before Me, and the souls which I have made."" Isaiah 57:15-16 (NKJV) Man using all of his intellect, wisdom, and all that he is - in his fiercest rage... ...has no more power against the God that created him, or against His Word, than that of a grain of sand... ...Yet so many among mankind seem to think that they can rebel against God and get away with it. They disbelieve and blaspheme, commit crimes against Him, against what He's created, and against His just reign over all that He's created - including His reign over man himself. Still His patience with man persists in the hope of man's repentance... as long as hope persists....
A much loved spiritual mentor pointed out to me the difference between the Apostle Paul's past will (a life without Christ) and His new will that evolved after the Lord called Him. He then challenged me to define what my own new will would say... ...let my response be found here...
